Ozonation Influence on Aluminum Ions in an Aqueous Solution, in Different Temperature Conditions

Article Preview

Abstract:

Metal waste disposed in the environment outside the landfills is a persistent type of polutant both for water and soil. The percolation of rainwater in the mass of waste determines the release of toxic substances in soil and groundwater. Using water polluted with such contaminants for food preparation has negative effects on human health. This study presents comparative experiments conducted on standard samples (artificially contaminated) with alumnium sulphate [Al2(SO4)3·18H2O]. These samples have been ozonated at different temperatures and timeframes. The effect of ozone treatment on metal ions concentration reduction was investigated using the cyclic voltammetry. It has been observed that for a considerable decrease of metal ions concentration from the contaminated samples, a longer ozonation time is needed at low temperatures.
